Hair care composition containing a polyalkylene (n) alkylamine which provide hair volume reduction

Abstract

Disclosed are hair care compositions including a polyalkyleneglycol(n)alkylamine of the formula (I and II), or mixtures thereof, wherein each R is independently a saturated, unsaturated, straight or branched alkyl group having from 1 to about 30 carbon atoms, R′ is a saturated, unsaturated, straight or branched alkyl group having from 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, each m is 2 or 3, each n is 2 or 3, each x and each y are independently a number of 1 or more wherein the sum of each x and each y is from about 3 to about 9; and wherein X— is any safe and suitable salt forming anion selected from the group consisting of chloride, bromide, iodide, acetate, citrate, lactate, glycolate, phosphate, nitrate, sulfonate, sulfate, alkylsulfate, alkyl sulfonate, glutamate, aspartate, and mixtures thereof; and wherein the melting point of the polyalkyleneglycol(n)alkylamine is less than about 45° C.; and a suitable carrier; wherein the composition reduces bulk hair area by at least about 10%, according to an Image Analysis Protocol.

1. A hair care composition comprising:
 (a) a polyalkyleneglycol(n)alkylaminie at the formula (I), (II), or mixtures thereof: 
                 
 
 an acid selected from the group consisting of L-glutanic acid, lactic acid, hydrochloric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, acetic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, L-glutamic hydrochloride, L-aspartic acid, and mixtures thereof, wherein the molar ratio of the polyalkyleneglycol(n)alkylamine to H +  from the acid is from about 1:0.3 to 1:1.2; and  
 (b) Suitable carrier wherein the carrier is from about 60% to about 90% of a gel matrix, said gel matrix comprising a cationic surfactant, a solid fatty compound, and water.  
 
     
     
       2. The hair care composition of  claim 1 , wherein the composition reduces bulk hair area by at least about 10%, reduces flyaway hair area by at least about 20%, and reduces total hair area by at least about 12.5%. 
     
     
       3. The hair care composition of  claim 1 , wherein R is a saturated alkyl group having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, m is 2 and the sum of x and y is from 3 to 7, and wherein the suitable carrier is an aqueous carrier. 
     
     
       4. The hair care composition of  claim 1 , wherein the composition is substantially free of an anionic surfactant and substantially free of a film-forming polymer comprising an anionic moiety. 
     
     
       5. The hair care composition of  claim 1 , wherein the composition has a viscosity of about 5000 to about 40000 cps. 
     
     
       6. The hair care composition of  claim 1  wherein the composition reduces bulk hair area by at least about 15% reduces flyaway hair area by at least about 30%, and reduces total hair area by at least about 20%. 
     
     
       7. A method of reducing bulk hair area by at least about 10% comprising the step of applying the hair care composition of  claim 1  to the hair. 
     
     
       8. The method according to  claim 7  further comprising the steps of: rinsing the hair with abundant amount water; and drying the hair.
